B. Bozzini et al., METASTABLE INTERMETALLICS IN THE ZN-MN SYSTEM OBTAINED BY ELECTRODEPOSITION, Journal de chimie physique et de physico-chimie biologique, 94(5), 1997, pp. 1009-1013
Metastable phases of the Zn-Mn system can be prepared at low temperatu
re by electrochemical methods. epsilon and epsilon beta BCC alloys can
be obtained as a function of the operating conditions, Structural stu
dies are reported concerning the thermal stability of the metastable p
hases, their grain growth behaviour and their stress state as a functi
on of heat-treatment time and temperature, Equilibrium structures cann
ot be obtained by heating the epsilon phase below the eutectoidic temp
erature, equilibrium alpha' can be precipitated from metastable beta(B
CC).
